Hi,

I'm not of the developing team for the flyer, but I'm a LaTeX user and I
want to give you some advices, if I may.

IMHO, captions need to be there. But please, do not use the default
\caption command. Check for the package 'caption' and use it to
configure the appearance of the captions. In particular, there's no need
for 'Figure 1' in every caption.

Try using \thispagestyle{empty} right after the first sectioning
command (or after \begin{document}). I do not have the sources to look
for, so I cannot be more helpful.

Another pair of ideas.

Firstly, 8 Mbs for this flyer is way too much. I suggest to check for
the dimensions of the images included and rescaling them to smaller
dimensions if they are too big. This would decrease the total size of
the file by at least 10 times.

One minor change can be the links typewrited in monospaced font (and in
blue, if possibile); may be too obvious, but I think it is more clear.

If you need some help, I'm here.

Bye.
